Penny Northrup-Hovinetz has been a caretaker for most of her adult life. She has taken care of abused children and provided care for her parents in their later years. Living in a household that always included a wide variety of pets, Penny fell in love with animals at an early age. In June 2006, Penny founded A Barking Boutique Ltd. and began to dedicate her life to taking care of animals. We met with Penny recently, and listened as she provided this overview of the services available at A Barking Boutique;

A Barking Boutique Ltd. specializes in professional dog and cat boarding, training, and grooming. I board dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, and turtles, and live on the premises to ensure your pet always receives the care and attention it needs. I really love animals and when you bring your pet here I treat it like it is my very own.

If you are experiencing behavior difficulties with your dog, our obedience classes will provide you and your dog with the essential building blocks to enjoying a better quality life. Our classes are designed to teach both you and your dog a wide variety of obedience skills through hand and voice signals that are taught through positive reinforcement and motivation.

Not only do we provide great grooming services, but our prices are some of the lowest in the area. Our large grooming room is very clean and features a wide array of state-of-the-art equipment. Same day appointments are available and for your pet's protection we never use any type of sedation medication.

In addition to our boarding, training, and grooming services, I also have a nice selection of puppies and rescues looking for a kind, loving home.

A Barking Boutique Ltd. provides all the tender loving care your pets will ever need. Call or stop by A Barking Boutique Ltd. today, and don't forget to tell them Elyria, Ohio Business & Living sent you!
